Heels' receivers need sticky fingers

Posted Aug 15, 2006

That might as well have been the slogan for North Carolina's receivers in 2005. The Tar Heels could even keep that as their unofficial theme for this football season, but with a new interpretation. Instead of dropping passes, the Heels aim to drop their history. "That group is gone," senior receiver Jesse Holley said. "This new group had nothing to do with what happened last year. I'm the only one that experienced it." (Raleigh News & Observer)
